What have you done to your KK lately

Bmxer524 · **Posted:** Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:32 pm

When I first put my 3.5" lift in they told me they couldn't make any more adjustments to get the camber in. Started wearing the outside of the tires quick, took it in a few hundred miles later and thankfully it settled enough to get into spec.

As promised, pics of the KK with the JBA lift set to 22 inches.

Front view:

Rear view:

I think the LCA is already aligned as far to the outside as it will go. Somebody correct me if you think there is a better alignment to be had.

And a new sticker, compliments of Marlin at JBA:

Also done:
- dismantled the roof rack and sealed leaks with 3M 5200 marine grade sealer earlier this week
- put the side rails, cross bars, and roof basket back on today
- washed the inside of the windows
- cleaned the cabin trim with ArmorAll
- cleaned the water and salt stains from the headliner and spilled coffee from the seats
- emptied the winter dirt out of the Husky liner floor mats and hosed them out
- drove the KK around the neighborhood to test the alignment - seems ok

I love those method wheels. Only downfall is their price. Keep us posted with what you end up with.

Lauren, looks good level. Oh I installed my sliders. Gotta get pics, sorry don't have any during the processes. My dad kinda came home from work and said let's put em on I don't want them in my house anymore lol. Sadly the phone and camera were dead.

@Bmxer524, thanks for the compliments! I will keep an eye on the tire wear, especially the outside edge. If I need to, I'll bring the lift down to 21.5 inches so the alignment will be closer to spec.

Looking forward to seeing your sliders tomorrow. Are they Rock Lizard's Skinks?

Yea, super skinks. I love them, only problem is they make the Jeep seem lower lol

They've saved my door paint from parking lot dings many times! When someone opens their door against my Jeep, they get the super skinks. They're also helpful because shorter and older people can use them to step up and in, and I can stand on them to access stuff in my roof basket. I have yet to use them for their intended purpose, deflecting rocks!

I can't wait for the future door dings lol. My grandpa already used them to help get in.

Sliders painted and installed.

lfhoward · **Posted:** Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:20 pm

Looks great! Bedliner or black paint?

Bmxer524 · **Posted:** Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:28 pm

Black paint, but it's textured. The shop told me it'll withstand scratching better than normal paint but won't be as hard to respray as bed liner.

I filled up this morning and I got 17mpg on the last tank. I'm trying something new and filled up with 100% gasoline. It might be a placebo effect, but the Jeep seemed to run a lot better.

Dropped her off for an oil change, inspection head restraint recall and the clock TSB.

The dealer (of course) tried to sell me on a $155 induction service - something to clean all the gunk out. Obviously I didn't go for it knowing that I could probably do it myself. Any idea on what it may entail and what I should do?
